Family Christmas

Reading for Today:  Luke 10:38-42; John 11, 12:2

     Read about Martha, Mary & Lazarus this morning.  Feel drawn to Martha when I become so overwhelmed by the tasks at hand and I forget to pray and just focus on God.  I want to be more like Mary who stopped everything when Jesus came into the room and she worshipped at His feet.  We can all do this simply by readjusting our focus to Jesus instead of the "things/tasks of this world". 
     I also realized that when Jesus raised Lazarus fromt he dead, death is symbolized in the wrappings that bound Lazarus.  When he came out of the tomb and Jesus said to free him from his wrappings, it was the physical manifestations of Jesus freeing Lazarus from the grip of death as He does all of us when we accept Him as Lord and Savior.
     If you have yet to come to come to Christ, may this season be your guiding light to the Child who came form heaven to earth to show the Way, from the earth to the cross our debt to pay, from the grave to the sky, Lord we lift Your name on high.  May Christ be in your Christmas this year.
